20th NSC : President of the session : welcoming
Dear all,
It is my greatest pleasure to welcome you all to Thessaloniki for the 20th National Selection Conference of European Youth Parliament in Greece.
In November this year, you will be travelling to the historical city of Thessaloniki and come together with young people from all over Greece for an intensive and fun weekend. Throughout the session, you will take part in teambuilding, where you will get to know your fellow committee members better through various challenging exercises. You will discuss important European issues during committee work and present your solutions at General Assembly. It will be challenging – and a lot of fun!
The organisers are working hard to ensure that the session will be a memorable experience for you. See this as an opportunity to improve your language skills, learn more about the European Union and of course, meet new friends.
For me, this session is extra special as it will be my first ever visit to your fantastic country. And hopefully, in November, Thessaloniki will be slightly warmer than the cold climate of my home town in Sweden. I love your food and your vibrant and rich culture and am truly looking forward to finally coming to Hellas.
I am eagerly awaiting the opportunity to welcome you all to Thessaloniki and to EYP.
Helya Houshmand
President of the session
